Founded in 2019 by three founders who met in New York, with creative director Abby Li, a Parsons School of Design graduate, ili node explores the traces left by time, experience, and transformation. Embracing imperfection as a point of departure, the brand draws on the tension between the old and the new, combining contemporary silhouettes with classical textures to create a distinct visual language. Moving across fashion, art, and lifestyle, ili node expresses a sense of freedom and self-awareness through forms that are both soft and resilient. Its designs celebrate the individuality of women, exploring the space between avant-garde and rebellion while finding beauty in what is irregular, unfinished, and deeply human.
